Abercrombie & Fitch has relied on rapid square footage growth and outsized
During the years shown, Abercrombie booked positive comps from 2004 through 2006, though barely during fiscal years 2004 and 2006, managing just 2% annual gains. When consumers spent like there was no tomorrow during the 2001 holiday season, because they weren’t sure there would be a tomorrow after the 9/11 attacks, Abercrombie posted steeply negative comps.
Despite consumers’ free-spending ways in 2006, Abercrombie’s comps fell during that holiday season, too. Its strongest months were October 2004 through September 2006; full year 2005 was such a stand-out that it stacks up as an anomaly.
Granted, part of Abercrombie’s mystique grew out of its ability to report strong earnings, despite mediocre comps, even as, admittedly, the soon to close Ruehl No.925’s (aka Ruehl) pathetic performance brought down overall comps in recent years.
Still, one wonders about a CEO who took so long to give up on Ruehl, which posted double and triple digit comp declines, almost from the day it started reporting them. Ruehl’s fate seemed obvious to me as long as 2 years ago, because it moved from concept to storefront just as missy clothing sales began withering. And Ruehl never presented any unique or heart stopping styles that would distinguish it from competitors.
Absent that single aberrational comp year, Abercrombie & Fitch has relied on rapid square footage growth and outsized -- some say obscene -- margins to post strong earnings despite negative comps. Gross margins in a few fiscal years, including FY04 & FY05 exceeded 66%, a rarity in apparel retailing, where two-thirds of that would be an improvement and thrill for many chains. Fiscal year 2005 was also the year it opened its first Abercrombie & Fitch and Hollister stores in Canada, as well as a flagship 5th Avenue store, in New York, the better to capture tourists.

Chairman, chief executive officer and chief merchant Jeffrey Lubell said, In our International segment, our newly opened stores in Tokyo, London and Cologne were well received, and the retail sell-through of our products continues to be positive. This quarter's International results also reflect our decision to terminate some distributors as we accelerate our plans to take certain markets direct. Direct control of key markets is essential for us to effectively protect and grow our brand in the long term. Overall, we did not make the progress that we had expected to in the quarter. However, we continue to focus on executing our growth plans for our U.S. Consumer Direct and International business segments while investing in infrastructure and personnel to drive our future growth and profitability. I remain very confident in our business strategy and management team.

Abercrombie’s plans to start sourcing for lower original retail price points
Comps clearly benefited. The recent slowdown in new store openings combined with steep price cuts to clear inventory weighs against Abercrombie accomplishing stellar margins in the near term.
Furthermore, Abercrombie’s plans to start sourcing for lower original retail price points, expected in stores by the end of the year and more completely next spring, may not be the panacea envisioned. Lower original prices will significantly diminish Abercrombie’s ability to oversize margins, a requirement for strong earnings in the face of tepid comps.
And lower prices, alone, won’t help Abercrombie regain its former glory. Hollister, its lower price chain, has toted up deeply negative comps, as well.
Abercrombie’s new hangtags feature both US and Canadian prices. The vast majority of its young customers may not know Canada’s "loonie" buys only about 84 US pennies. To them, a cotton cardigan might seem a relative bargain at US $70 compared to Canadian $90 but for Abercrombie to see any positive psychological impact, it will need to attract customers into its stores.
That’s been a major stumbling block this year when mall traffic, overall, has been down significantly and Abercrombie’s down even more, some of it brought on by its own missteps.
Meanwhile, lower prices, on their own, can pressure comps if the number of units sold don’t rise dramatically. And Abercrombie needs stronger sales to gain store occupancy leverage since rent, electricity, and other costs are more sticky.
As a former New York retail store owner, and since May 1987, a retail writer, researcher and analyst, I’ve seen many myths of greatness come and go, few more durable and widely held than the myth of Abercrombie & Fitch. Aeropostale (ARO), selling to the same age range of customers, posted positive annual comps every year from 2001 through the present (ARO, public since 2002, didn’t report older comps).

in some quarters as large as Abercrombie’s best
American Eagle Outfitters (AEO), another teen retailer, which analysts are recommending at its current stock price for its large cash horde, if nothing else, posted positive comps in all but 4 of those years—in some quarters as large as Abercrombie’s best, especially after the successful introduction of aerie, a "dorm-wear" line that raised respect for American Eagle Outfitters’ management team.
Intimates and "dormwear" is another business Abercrombie hopes to conquer, launching Gilly Hicks in January 2008, just months after American Eagle debuted aerie. (Abercrbombie doesn’t report Gilly Hicks comps, yet; the number of stores still quite small, though the company, originally, projected "at least 800.")
In all the shopping center of teenagers professional sold retailers most mercurial or consumers, Aeropostale proved very consistent but, alas, and good comps is panic now most investors. Edge is not favour manifestation continued without interruption. No other retailers, in addition to buckle BKE, may be faced with such powerful, comparison, this fall.
However, buckles adhere to the quality of survival, to in order to avoid a small city of the competition. Located in Nebraska, and stores are so far the most influential many analysts don't often met their shopping center, the circuit hand reported big company.
In contrast, Maxx (TJX off - mall retailers study released positive comps) in a year on year based on the time frame cited. Its closest competitor, Ross shop ROST), missed in only one year, in 2004, when implementing new supply chain software wreaked havoc on commodity flow.
Yet, when analysts list great retailers, Abercrombie & Fitch, inevitably, places near the top of most lists. If the two off-price retailers, Ross and TJMaxx, are mentioned, it’s rarely with the enthusiasm Abercrombie inspires.

Edge is not favour manifestation continued without interruption. No other retailers, in addition to buckle BKE, may be faced with such powerful, comparison, this fall.
However, buckles adhere to the quality of survival, to in order to avoid a small city of the competition. Located in Nebraska, and stores are so far the most influential many analysts don't often met their shopping center, the circuit hand reported big company.
In contrast, Maxx (TJX off - mall retailers study released positive comps) in a year on year based on the time frame cited. Its closest competitor, Ross shop ROST), missed in only one year, in 2004, when implementing new supply chain software wreaked havoc on commodity flow.
Yet, when analysts list great retailers, Abercrombie & Fitch, inevitably, places near the top of most lists. If the two off-price retailers, Ross and TJMaxx, are mentioned, it’s rarely with the enthusiasm Abercrombie inspires.

just what built Abercrombie’s
The best question may be, just what built Abercrombie’s "cool, trend-setting" reputation? Comps suggest it rests on a single year. That year’s significant out-performance was attained thanks to strong sales of tradition busting jeans. Acid washed, splashed with paint, embellished with crystals and rhinestones, or strategically torn, those premium jeans sold for upwards of $178--more for a combination of enhancements—at a time the bulk of teen retailers were selling jeans for as little as $25.50--$58.
The stage was set for Abercrombie’s premium denim success in a prior season when a line of t-shirts imprinted with slogans caused a furor. The slogans ranged from self-affirming to silly, cute, and downright stupid and should have been relegated to no better than a brief spurt in sales.
But a minor number of off-color ones raised Abercrombie’s profile when offended parents picketed, demanded they be withdrawn, and threatened lawsuits. Abercrombie’s step over the line attracted more media attention than money could buy. And you know what they say about (even bad) publicity. Parents versus smitten teens? The more parents complained, the more kids ached for Abercrombie. Traffic into its stores soared and made even the most expensive jeans irresistible to teens who’d never seen anything like them before.
Since then, though, Abercrombie hasn’t been able to deliver a follow-up or convert antics into a significant boost to sales, despite two subsequent controversies: once over especially risqué ads with nearly nude models that were inappropriate for display in PG-Rated malls; a second time, in 2008, when other ads drew charges of racism.

A True Religion Stockholder Licks His Wounds
As a shareholder, and having been positive myself on the prospects of True Religion Apparel (Nasdaq: TRLG), I'm licking my wounds a bit after their last earnings call. What a mess.
But not sufficient rundown, this is only my posttraumatic stress disorder, I will play some high (low) lamp:
1) this is not only a huge loss, but the company also lead down to one year. It sounds like they weren't prepared weather in Europe's growth in Japan, not as fast as expected. First of all, I would say the bad weather is a taboo, I don't like it. Second, it is a sign that intra prediction is not accord with a standard. This does not mean that the company in dreadful handicap, but it does mean that you can't really really in their predictions, that is the bad news on Wall Street.
2) European and Japanese poor, but U.S. sales continued to be strong. The reliable, not enough to make them from other SINS, but let the child at ease.
3) I'm surprised herb. There didn't go to town. Herbaceous plants, true religion has always been skeptical, but I'm surprised he didn't take them to the task worse than he. I think he is right point regarding potential divorce Jeff and gold Lubell - it does with the business. If you don't want your marriage, questioned don't take stock analysts and your wife with public listed companies.
4) others, and to reduce Brean Murray stock purchase/than either pause/departments to perform or even selling. I can understand the analysts may feel interesting keep bought such company, but when you have a 30% take price, it is difficult to say no risk.
5) their new strategy non - denim retail and is a positive action, but obviously, they want to change into real purpose under diesel. I think this is their whether you can do it, because they will give full play to the future, it could be a big problem if it doesn't work. I'm working to my stock, but watching this similar biotechnology, maybe they pull it off and well done, or they whiff and stock completely tanks.
Time will tell, but if not for some absolutely amazing numbers in December, it'll probably be a waiting game for the stock to start to creep back up.

Here are the facts:

The biggest push back on the stock is that the brands are weakening or weaker than its peers. Analysts believe this to be untrue, but work suggests the brands are as strong, if not stronger, than the peers, and top line (e.g. SSS growth) is being held back to near-term from difficult denim compares, which should ease over time.

Placing a significantly distant second to the Abercrombie name for most of its history
Placing a significantly distant second to the Abercrombie name for most of its history, the moose as a motif, was destined for failure. Consigned almost exclusively to decorating holiday flannels, customers would be forgiven for not even recognizing the moose as a logo, connecting it, instead, to Santa’s Dancer, Prancer, and Blitzen, or dear old Rudolph.
Also this past spring, Abercrombie tried Hawaiian print shirts reminiscent of Tommy Bahama’s (OXM), though forgot to include the colorful palette, instead stenciling outlines of flowers on contrast colored fabric. For fall, Abercrombie is borrowing a page from Urban Outfitter’s (URBN) Anthropologie, decorating the chest of that dual-priced cardigan with miniature beads set in a floral pattern--a throwback to styles popular in the 1940s and 50s. Success remains to be seen, and may require Abercrombie girls being big fans of AMC’s "Mad Men."
During its May post-earnings conference call, self-proclaimed fashion pace setter, CEO Mike Jeffries, finally admitted he missed the dress craze—three years in a row, by my count. In fact, even more than aerie, Gilly Hicks owes everything to The Limited’s Victoria’s Secret (LTD), offering intimates, loungewear, pajamas, and a "bra library" displaying 40 styles. Ironically, Abercrombie & Fitch was spun out of The Limited in a September 1996 IPO, with Michael Jeffries as its CEO at the time. Who’s following whom?
Then there’s the matter of how few females actually fit into Abercrombie’s clothes, though the men’s sizes run to XXL, hewing to industry standards that fit a full range of shapes and heights. CEO Mike Jeffries has been quoted saying not everyone "belongs in our clothes," and makes no secret that he prefers selling only to consumers with the "Abercrombie look."

With Jeans North Of $200, Why is True Religion Looking to Get Sold?
Is it right to sell jeans for $200-and-up? Better yet, is it right for someone to be paying that much for a pair of jeans? I mean, it’s still cotton right? Moral concerns aside, True Religion Apparel (Nasdaq:TRLG) is doing just that. And doing it darn well. After the close of the markets on Thursday, True Religion, whose jeans can be found on the shelves of Urban Outfitters (Nasdaq:URBN), Bloomingdales, and more recently their new flagship store in Manhattan Beach, CA, announced that they had increased sales nearly 40% year over year for the second quarter, bringing in $30.7 million.
In addition, they net income growth over 40%, put those dollars a share look after adjusting the legal settlement cost. This with Wall Street estimates of $$leel increases sales and earnings per share. Pretty good still.
More important, but in their income, issued announcement that they have engaged investment bank Goldman sachs "to explore different strategy plan." This, in simple language, usually means that they are considering sales company. With what want to?

How can we not can take him down and get some advice?
Fashion is so focused on luxury these days. Do you think that will change? I see it already changing. We’ve been so steeped in worshipping luxury brands since 2002, and I see it shifting away from that, at least with our customers. They’re kind of over big labels — wearing big labels for the sake of wearing big labels and whatnot. And it’s good news for people like us who specialize in the smaller brands, the cutting-edge. Then again, there’s some luxury houses that I think are doing an awesome, awesome job and actually doing cutting-edge things. Like Givenchy right now, I love. Yves Saint Laurent as well, and Lanvin. All of them blow my mind. If you’re going to buy luxury, buy them. Don’t buy, like, Dolce & Gabbana.

HAIR
• Are you, like us, struggling with Drew Barrymore's hair choices as of late? She showed up to the He's Just Not That Into You premiere with a giant ponytail, but not quite upstaging the foofy 'do she wore at the Golden Globes.
MAKEUP
Paul Frank is collaborating with Lip Smacker to create lip balms adorned with its mascot, Julius the monkey. The flavors are inspired by bananas. No word if Rachel Zoe is shilling for them yet.

Deborah Lippmann gave Lara Stone a reverse French manicure in berry and white for her French Vogue spread. Love. The new colors from Superstar Nail Lacquer hurt our eyes.

cash is eroding at ANF
My background, incidentally, is this: my father was in retail, the President (albeit not CEO) of a mid-sized Abercrombie-like concept back in the mid 1970s (good ups) into the early 1980s (it ended in bankruptcy).
My father taught me two things in life. First, the "unable for retail;" This, because all retail concepts die, and higher retail advertising leaflet, the bigger the crash (sharp image), who is it? . Second, "you'd better ask your mother."
Well, although my mother has no Wall Street analysts, her own retail exec (ladies who would understand the buyer) below.
Ultra-high margins are not sustainable in a recession. Management’s assertion that it would hold the line on its 67% gross margin is being revealed as false on Abercrombie.com, where this year’s Spring Lines are priced 10% to 15% lower than last year’s.

- “Aspirational” mid-luxury products – particularly clothing, where ready substitutes are available – take a big hit in a recession. Most often, these hits require a complete re-think of a retailer’s business model.
- The momentum of a retailer who “grows up” in good times, like ANF, is cut off at the knees in bad times. The aspirational draw – big stores in pricey malls, in the priciest locations within those malls– acts as the worst form of leverage (the cost of existence) in bad times.
- The ego of a visionary founder works against the company. Michael Jeffries is a great salesman and marketer. But he may need to learn humility… as Ralph Lauren will tell you he got in two different recessions (early 1980s, early 1990s), in order to ride out the third (early 2000s).
- Cash is king in retail. And cash is eroding at ANF, and you would be a fool not to recognize it.
